Does anyone know of a project box that's large enough to house a BBC Micro keyboard? I've been looking for an hour or two now and can't find anything suitable. Before anyone asks, the keyboard I have is from a very, very dead BBC Micro that someone had on Stardot many years ago and I got the keyboar...

I realise the forum software hasn't been updated for a bit, but one of the reasons it wasn't updated for ages (and we got hacked) was because it's hard to do with lots of custom code bodged in. The main aim here is keeping things as vanilla as possible to ease updating (and also because in truth no...

What's odd is that when phpBB serves the image directly, the browser auto-rotates the image to the correct orientation (latest Chrome on Windows 10) so the browser is capable of orienting the image correctly... However, the browsers don't yet honour the CSS required to make this work.... https://dev...

Well, it's Birthday and Christmas season now so all my machines barring my work laptop are put away for the next 3-4 weeks so I won't be doing anything for a while :-( Oh! . . . This is when I usually get mine out to play with . . . Mmmm! Actually, they never go away :- Dave H :-$ I know. This is m...

Thanks. It's not an Apple product, it's a Samsung Galaxy S8. I did take the photo in what I thought appeared to be the correct phone orientation but it seems that's the forum thinks that's not the case

Paul, I was shocked to hear of your cancer experience and it's great to hear you have recovered enough to have made it to ABUG. Thanks. It took two years to get to this point but it was really great to see everyone again. Regarding B-Em crashing, later on the thread Music 5000 in B-Em which you hav...

Shipping! Thanks for everone's patience most of the first batch are out the door. There are some which are awaiting the 1MHz bus connector to be soldered on (I ran out of stock) and they will go out in the next day or two. Yay :D =D> =D> =D> I know how much time assembly takes and it can be very mo...

So, I took my Hybrid discs to the ABug meet in Leicester and left them in the capable hands of our very own DanielJ who has Kryofluxed the discs and converted them all to SSD's too. Going through the discs, it seems I have a couple of discs with different versions of the M5 module on and one of the ...

We could make a Midi Keyboard emulate that :D Definitely the way to go I think. Trying to get MIDI in working would require a lot of work to build a ROM to monitor the 1MHz bus for MIDI in traffic and convert it to signals to control the 5000. There'd be a lot of work to deal with voice selection t...

Hi there. I was wondering do you think it's possible or within the realms of possibility to add midi input to the emulation of Music 5000? I guess you would need the source code? Music 4000s are hard to come by now. It would be great to see some new music coming out and I'd love to have a bash but ...

What's even more silly is that whilst you need a PIN to watch the Sky movie channels before 10pm, you don't have to enter one to watch Turner Classic Movies (TCM). I recently had my VM box swapped to one of their new V6 things. Utter garbage. It's really noisy and the software is atrocious. I'd ask...

...and if you're using the earlier machines you're likely to be introducing a podule that either has idefs or can have its podule rom manipulated? True but some of the benefit of being in ROM is lost if the module is loaded into RAM from the podule ROM. Also, some modules need to be in RAM because ...

Hi Jon, They are still in demand and in production. The easiest way is via my web shop. http://www.sundby.com/index.php/product-category/bbc-micro/ If you have any problems please let me know. Kjell S. My Anti-virus (ESET NOD32) seems to think the site has malicious code on it :-/ Website blocked T...

In the wake of the A300 series £150 keyboard.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acorn-Archimedes-keyboard-from-a-Archimedes-410-but-may-work-with-others/282736438703 Yup, a slightly damaged A400 series keyboard for similar money :-o Mind you, this Amiga CDTV keyboard is way out there too :-o https://www...

I'm particularly interested in how people found the two room setup. It would appear looking at the lists that I spent the entire day in the wrong room but I had a great time so it had zero effect on me. That being said, a venue where either it's a larger room to accommodate us all or rooms that wer...

I'd just like to day thanks to everyone today for helping me out when needed. I've enjoyed every minute of the day and will definitely be attending more in the future. I managed to get my BeebOPL made up finally and the headers on my two matchbox co-processors sorted so I can finally start listening...
